Chapter 81: Knowledge is power

"What do you think are the necessary conditions for becoming strong?" Wright chose a big tree, cut it flat and made a desk. The three little ghosts sat at the table, looking at him blankly.

"Tough practice!" Ace replied first.

"Calm head!" Sabo thought for a while and replied.

"Um... brave!" Luffy stunned for a long time and shouted.

"Not bad." Wright smiled and nodded: "Tough practice, calm mind, and fearless courage are all necessary qualities to be strong-but there is one more thing that you ignore."

"It's knowledge!" Wright knocked on the table, and said to the three little ghosts who were disapproving: "The so-called knowledge is not for you to learn poetry, but for you to understand your own power, the power of your enemy, and how to find yourself stronger. And how to use one’s own advantages to combat the enemy’s disadvantages.”

"For example, my strength is swordsmanship, so I need to understand all kinds of swordsmanship-related knowledge to develop the best swordsmanship skills for me, and learn how to use swordsmanship to deal with the strong in various fields. "

"Luffy, you ate rubber fruit, but now you can't even make a good punch..." Wright looked at Luffy and pouted, while Ace and Sabo sneered and ordered two bigger ones.

"Ace, you pay attention to basic cultivation, which is great, but do you know how to develop a good foundation into a strong combat power? Steel is very hard, but when it is turned into a sword, it can exert several times the destructive power!"

"Sabo, you are courageous and strategic. To be honest, I was pleasantly surprised to meet you-Mr. Karp didn't even know you existed, but when Luffy didn't come, you were there and Ace did that. Practice actively."

"You can't compare to Ace on an absolute basis, but in actual combat, you are no worse than him-your knowledge reserves are richer than him, but you are not aware of it."

Looking at the thoughtful little ghosts—Luffy was still at a loss—Lai Fei nodded: “That’s a bit broad, so let’s give an example.”

"I met an enemy... a very genius enemy..." Wright thought for a while and found an example.

"He is a devil fruit capable person, very similar to Luffy, you... The difference is that he eats a thread fruit and can control the thread."

"Thread? The kind that sews clothes?" Luffy's interest in the first time he heard of someone other than himself, and Ace and Sabo were also very interested.

"Yes, but it's much stronger than that. According to your idea, what can this control line's ability do?" Wright asked the three serious little ghosts.

"It doesn't seem to be of much use..." Ace thought about it, but couldn't think of what the control line could do: "Sew clothes? Sew something else? Can you still sew the enemy?"

Sabo thought for a while and frowned, "If this thread is very tough, it should be used as a weapon... sometimes it's not harder to cut things with a thin wire than a sword."

Luffy thought for a while before saying: "Can I fly a kite?"

"..." Ace and Sabo stared at Luffy with idiot eyes, flying a kite...

"Hahaha..." Wright knocked on the table and attracted the attention of the three little ghosts: "You don’t understand the common lines in life as you can imagine. This is insufficient knowledge, not enough to make you aware. So, what can the'line' thing do."

"What did that person do with this ability?" Ace said in disbelief.

"Thread, first of all can sew things-but Ace, it can not only sew enemies, but also sew itself!"

Looking at Ace's bewildered face, Wright drew out the knife: "If you were hit by a knife and the blood flow would not stop, but the battle is not over yet, what method would you use to stop the bleeding?"

"I... will hold on to the wound, right?" Ace understood a little.

"Very well, then you have abolished one hand-this is likely to kill you. And that person, he can manipulate the thread to suture his wound to stop bleeding, and even visceral bleeding can be sutured for first aid, so He can continue fighting without worrying about the wound!"

"Oh!" The three little ghosts exclaimed.

"Sabo said that it was used as a weapon, and that person did use it the same way. The thread he manipulates is very tough. Not only can it cut things, but it can also hit the thread like a pistol to kill the enemy!"

"Oh!"

"Luffy said flying a kite... Don't laugh, kites can fly, and that person can connect the string to the clouds in the sky to make himself fly!"

"!!!" The little ghosts were already shocked and speechless.

"He can weave a net with thread to defend against sword attacks!"

"What's more, he can bind people's limbs with wires, like manipulating puppets, manipulating other people's actions!"

"You can also use the line to make another self...make a clone that you fully control, and replace him to fight the enemy!"

"He can even cover a town with a wire, so that no one can get out and imprison everyone!"

"……"

"So, if that person doesn't have enough knowledge about the line, can he do that?"

"An ordinary devil fruit, he played countless tricks!"

"Wow...!" Looking at the three little ghosts with gold stars in their eyes, Wright said in his heart that Uncle Doflamingo has made your bottom light through, thank you...

"So you understand the importance of knowledge?" Wright concluded.

"Hmm! Uncle Wright tell some more stories like this!" Luffy nodded in excitement.

Wright stood up and said, "Today I will talk about this first. From now on, I will finish morning exercises every morning. I have to have morning classes. At this time, my mind is the clearest and the easiest to remember things, and then basic training and actual combat!"

"By the way, don't tell Dadan that I have been here. Mr. Karp doesn't want the bandits to be trembling because of my navy."

"Yes! Uncle Wright!"

Then, the three little ghosts enjoyed the treatment that the most advanced training camp of the navy headquarters can't enjoy-Wright's healing aid training method!

Basic training beyond the limit-half-dead and not alive-being healed and regained strength-continuing training-half-dead and not alive-regaining strength... and so on.

"Your age, your body is still growing and developing, so in the future without my auxiliary treatment, you must not train like this by yourself, it is harmful and useless!" Wright taught.

"If you want extreme training, you must be at least sixteen years old and your physical condition has basically stabilized before you can practice extreme training under the guidance of an instructor!"

"Yes!"

……

Days passed, and finally, in the morning class that morning, Wright pointed to the torch in his hand and asked the three much stronger little ghosts.

"Do you know... what is fire?"

"The fire... is very hot! It will burn things!" Luffy replied, and the three little ghosts had already fallen in love with Wright's education link.

"Yeah, that's it, what else?" Ace and Sabo are also a little inexplicable-is there any secret to something like fire that you have to touch every day?

"Well...Today's morning class, I will introduce to you a special devil fruit-burning fruit!"
